Roland -
Just an FYI, I work in the construction field and am in contact with the workers and the companies involved. Your view/opinion might be, just that - your view/opinion. But its pretty well known by most of us in the industry, this is a fiasco and a HUGE waste of money. You may be dealing with the "higher ups" but I'm dealing with the folks who are actually doing the work and WE have a much different picture than the one that you paint (or the one that is being painted for you).
